Burn to DVD-RWs in iDVD

iDVD (by default) won't let you burn to a DVD-RW (at least with version 3. I don't have the new iLife -- maybe they changed this).

I read somewhere (I think it may have been in Rob's book, but I don't remember for sure) that you could burn to a DVD-RW in iDVD, but you had to start the process with a DVD-R, and eject it after it starts the multiplexing process and insert the RW disc, or something like that. Anyway, here's a simpler solution.

I accidentally discovered this workaround. Start with iDVD closed, and put in a blank DVD-RW, then click "ignore" when prompted as to what to do. Then open iDVD and click Burn, and it will burn your iDVD project to the RW disc without a hitch.
